Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on McCoy: B+.

The Bengals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jermod McCoy fell into pick No. 226. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 10 they get a three-down second-level presence. A real need, handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 Avieon Terrell
Avieon Terrell at Round 4, Pick 10 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dillon Thieneman
They robbed the room for Dillon Thieneman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cashius Howell
Cashius Howell in the 189th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick199 Rnd6 Colton Hood
Colton Hood at pick 199 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jermod McCoy
The board fumbled Jermod McCoy all the way to pick No. 226, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
